The British Library will publish two new Harry Potter books in October

Jul 20 2017

The Hogwarts universe is set to expand by an additional two new Harry Potter books, published by Bloomsbury in the UK in conjunction with a British Library event, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the series.

The library exhibition titled, "A History of Magic," featuring the two books will be open from October 2017 to February 2018.

The books, both by the British Library, include unseen sketches and manuscript pages from author J.K. Rowling, magical illustrations from Jim Kay and artifacts from the archives at the library.

J.K. Rowling, in a statement on the Pottermore website, called A History of Magic an "adult edition," and Harry Potter – A Journey Through A History of Magic "a family edition for younger readers."
